Communion Practice at Saint Andrew's

We celebrate the Lord's Supper distributed from the altar.

The Pastor, wearing gloves, places an individual wafer into each communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers an individual, pre-filled disposable cup of wine to each communicant.

Communion is continuous; please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.

After you receive communion from the altar please drop the disposable (and recyclable) communion cup into the bowl offered by the usher.

Please remember:
  • you may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
  • if you prefer to use a pre-packaged communion set, please let the usher know when you come into worship
  • those not communing are invited to receive a blessing
